Troubleshooting and FAQ for typing, navigating and selecting

PROBLEM

THE SOLUTION

COMMENT

Typing is slower than you want, on long stories, or long paragraphs.

Switch to Ted4, hide the WYSIWYG pane, and disable interactive justification.

The text justification in Fred has hard time to justify long stories.

Typing is slow when editing text on page with slowdown sometimes of 5-7 seconds.

Disable automatic alerting as explained in Enable/disable receiving of automatic alerts in Ted4 or Fred4

Tera is looking to how minimize the impact of alerts on the frequently used  operations.

Text is blinking in source window when typing quickly.

To reduce blinking, turn off the Display spell check errors in the source window option.

The "refreshing" on each letter typed affected entire paragraph, i.e. all lines above and below the current position. Other paragraphs, above or below the current one are not affected.

Protect mode does not work

Tags are displayed. Hide tags and retry.

When using "big points", the rounding error in Fred4 may cause the text frame height to miss 1 or 2mpts, and therefore to drop the last line of text, although it looks like there's enough space.

The solution is to slightly reduce the starting offset of grid in the format. For example, if the grid value is 9.8pt, put it as 9.799pt or 9.798pt.

The visual impact is null, as it's not possible to notice a 2mpt shift, and it would be enough for the last text line to fit the frame.
